No, don't glue the magnet to the spoke on a LW wheel. The only reason that magnets have been historically on the spoke is that, with box-sectioned rims, the spoke was the only rational place to put it. With the advent of deep(ish) wheels (45mm and deeper), the obvious place to put the magnet is on the rim.

Can anyone who has a set of Lightweight wheels and garmin edge with GSC 10 unit show us your solutions? I'm a little skeptical about gluing anything to the spoke/rim of a Lightweight wheelset. What exactly did you do and how did you do it? Pictures of your setup would be appreciated.

I have some Lightweight wheels coming in within the next few weeks and would like to find the best solution possible. I would like to continue using my garmin 800 with the magnet as I do a lot of riding under heavy tree cover. The GPS has a hard time finding a signal and without the magnet, I have a hard time knowing what speed I'm going.

One more thing, where did you source all of your parts for this project would also be greatly appreciated.

Why not ask carbonsports? You don't want to void warranty by any glueing aktions.

I myself glued neodymium magnets on the spokes of numerous lightweight wheels which works perfect as long as you use a proper glue (a good 2 component epoxy would be fine) and not something called "superglue" (most are hydroscopic which mean thes attract water and will loose clamping power within a short timeperiod)
